Raycaster Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 In another thread I noted my AMD A6 system is under powered for multi PLEX streaming so since I have an old WIN 10 1090T PC running I was thinking of swapping OSes. Any chance of a simple migration of (2@4T Parity Drives - 3@3T Data Drives - 1 500G Cache Drive) to another machine or is this a re-do from scratch project? I was dreaming that the bootable thumbdrive would re-configure to the new machine if I at least put the drives back in the same SATA order... Quote Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Should be seamless so long as the new hardware works. unRAID is hardware agnostic in that only the drives are what is tracked, for obvious reasons. Quote Link to comment
StevenD Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I've done it three times. It's a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment
Raycaster Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Thx guys for the quick replies. Are the hd sata placements important or can I toss them all in the 1090T machine and cross fingers? Quote Link to comment
mr-hexen Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 write it down JUST IN CASE, but likely toss them in and it'll work, crossing fingers not required. Quote Link to comment
tdallen Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Definitely jot down which is the parity drive and which are the data drives before starting. Quote Link to comment
JWMutant Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Did it myself too. No need to write down what drive is what as that info is stored on the thumb drive you use for unRAID. It was as someone else put it... a piece of cake. Quote Link to comment
